🔎 Manikure is a single-page web application for designing Kubernetes resource definitions (JSON/YAML manifests). It's ideal for when you're learning how to write Kubernetes resources, or when you want to quickly prototype a new resource.

Features

• Interactive editor: Design your Kubernetes resources using a visual editor, without writing YAML.
• Templates: Use pre-defined templates to get started quickly. Choose from a set of typical Kubernetes scenarios.
• Export: Export your resources as YAML, ready to apply to your Kubernetes cluster.
• Share: Share your resources with others, by exporting them as a URL.
• Dark mode: Because everyone loves dark mode.
• No server required: The app runs entirely in your browser, with no server-side processing.

Future roadmap

• Support for more fields in the core objects (Pod, Deployment, Service)
• Support for dynamic fields in objects (e.g. environment variables, volumes) (implemented using Zod/AutoForm)
• Combine multiple objects into a Kubernetes List or OpenShift Template
• Support for creating Helm charts
• Make it look nicer (Now done using shadcn-vue!)
